ton OF the skill Of the artist and the chem
ist. 1t has not only the advantage over
other methods in saving expense, but
what is much more important to daily
newspaper, also that Of saving time.
The Illustration OF the new Jail which
appeared in yesterdays MORNING NEWS
is a photo-engraving, reduced from the
drawings of the architects, Messrs. Nc
Donald Bros, of Louisvill G, Ky.
Owing TO the great cost and the dill.
Guilty of obtaining the talent necessary TO
produce good work, Illustrations OF cur.
rent subjects have been heretofore neces-
sarlly confined to few metropolitan
papers. The MORNING NEWS, how
ever, has looked forward, ever since the
discovery OF the photo-engraving process,
TO the time when 1t would be able to add
to It's other features that OF illustrations,
which help to present forcibly ana Of
fectively current events. That time has
arrived. In this, as In other matters look
ing to the advancement OF journalism, IT
is tho pioneer In the South. The
MORNING NEWS photo-engraving depart
ment makes 1t possible for its advertisers
illustrate their advertisements, and for
business men to have engraving done at
home at moderate prices, as well as for
the newspaper to place before it's readers
illustrations Of matters OF interest.

Business for Our Trade Bodies.

The business men OF Savannah must
make up their minds to do little rail-
road building. Other Georgia cities are
not only projecting new roads, but they
are subscribing the money to build them.
Augusta, Macon, Atlanta and Columbus
are building roads which, when built,
will not help Savannah.
The people OF this city need not expect
that il they keep their cash in their
strong boxes, or invest it elsewhere than
here, railroads will be built that will
help to make Savannah prosperous. The
companies which already have roads run
ming here are not going to build others
unless it is for their interest to do 50, and
it is probable that they don't see any
reason at present for building more roads
from any point to this city. Other cities
of the State are looking out for their own
interests and not for Savannah's,
and capitalists are not likely to
put their money IN railroad enterprises
which Will boom Savannah unless these
enterprises have the support of Savan-
nah's own people. Ii they want to help
any place, and they are not quite so I'M
selfish as 10 want to do anything OF that
sort, they would help one not quite SO
able TO help itself as this is.
Savannah has two trade organizations
whicA mig hit advantageously devote some
of their time TO looking after her in
terests. They could at least make an
effort to have the roads now being built
in this State, and which are seeking an
outlet on the coast, to make this city
their seaport. Let them try and see what
they can do in this direction.

BY BISHOP II. W. WARREN, D. D., L. LID.
mnumerable are the crimes of the
dOlorous and accursed ages. And a
fruitful source OF them all is intemper-
ance. 1t trobs the body Of its strength,
the senses of their delicacy, the mind
of its acuteness, the spirit of its life.
1t fires every passion, makes every
base appetite the master of mind and
will, leaves man an utter wreck. OF
its work there are flightful statistics of
robberies, arsons, murders, insanities,
and curses to the third and fourth
generations; but there are no statistic
that can measure the eart-breaks OF
wives, hungers of children, disappoin-
tments of found parents, and physical
inheritance of deterioration and un-
conquerable appetite. 1t is the one
great, stark, crying curse of our race
and age. 1t is the personal foe of
every parent, Sunday-school teacher,
and preacher OF Righteousness.
Why is intemperance indulged?
There are no reasonable answers;
there are many pretences. 1t is said
that it nourishes and strengthens the
body. Satan could not invent worse
lie. There is no call for it in sickness
or health, that cannot be better met
with something else. 1t is simply
question OF the pleasure it gives, and
OF the appetite that cannot be denied.
How shall the parent, teacher
preacher and philanthropist fight this
demon? BY esteeming it a curse, not
to be touched, tasted or handled.
By personally and wholly abstaining
from the poison. By warning every
one they may influence that since de-
monstrates that it is harm to the
body that it is an insidious enemy
as pleasure and an exhilation to
abide asan agony, tyranny, and death
that it is SO far-reaching that it goes
beyond its victim, and lays its curse
on the unborn child, foredooming it
to debility, insanity, or bitter servitude
to an appetite that rules him like a
demon enthroned.
Pledge all the children to-day to
abstain wholly from its use or, when
they get to be men, good as Noah,
they may fall by this sin, and incur all
this shame.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1887-08-25

The shocking railroad disaster in
Illinois is not to be forgotten in a day.
1t has filled the country with horror.
The air from the West is meanwhile
tainted with blood 1t bears the des-
pairing cries of fathers, mothers and
children forever bereft Of those most
dear to them. 1t echoes over and
over again with the moving fact that
hundreds of persons have been swept
in few seconds to death or mutila-
ton, and that the awful experience
may at any hour be repeated in either
of thousand danger traps scattered
up and down the land.
Now, such repetitions should be ad-
verted or made impossible at the ear
liest practicable moment. The peo-
pie demand this and they have a right
to demand it, They demand that
such inflammable structures as caused
the slaughter OF Thursday should be
done away with, and done away with
forever. There is, however, but one
way to do this. 1t is by the passage Of
laws forbidding the building hereafter
OF wooden bridges on railroad lines
and compelling the substitution Of
bridges Of stone, iron Or other incom-
bustible materials in place of the
wooden ones already built.
This will cost money. But what is
money compared to life? Put the
thing even in its most sordid aspect
and it will appear, we are confident
that the legal responsibilities develop
ed upon the railroad company by this
one accident will equal in money {
sum that would have put freproo
bridges on its entire line. And ever
this does not cover the case. For thC
greater confidence of the public, lead
ing to an increase of business, and thu
other economies that always spring
from enchanced stability would surel,
tend to make the safe course the prof
liable. course as well.
For all that, experience shows tina
the railroad corporations will fgh
against additional obligatory expense
even when the outlay is for their owl
ultimate advantage. 1t is also the un
fortunate fact that the legislative con
tests Of corporations are apt to hav
the same issue. What is everybody
bushes is nobody's business, and tn

compact power OF money, the might OF
the closely interested few against that
OF the loosely interested many, has
been illustrated SO. often that any fresh
contest between the two is naturally
regarded by the community with
doubt and apprehension.
The strength of sin, says the Bible,
Is the law. If for "sin" we read "cor-
porations," the modern application is
palpable. Over and ever again has the
good Of the people been sacrificed by
legislatures at the bidding of corpora
tions. But when not merely the peo-
pies good but their saiety-nay, their
very lives are at stake, it is time to
say that the corporations shall give
way. Such time and such an emer-
gency are now before us.
The Chatsworth calamity presents
them in a vivid and terrible shape.
The people must instruct their repre-
sentatiyes to rise, for once, to the oc-
casion. Bridges on railroads must be
made freprooi and if the railroad cor
porations make a fight against this re,
form their defeat must be final and
crushing-N, Y. Herald.

THE UTE UPRISING.


DENVER, August 2O.-Whatever
have been the cause of this Ute trouble
and whether it was justifable, the tact
remains that there is difficulty ahead,
and it will only be averted by the has
ty return of the renegades to their res
ervation. The State authorities have
gone too far to retrace their steps, and
the Indians give no sign of an inten-
tion to retire. Sheriff Kendall started
from Meeker Wednesday with nine
men to locate the Indians, whom he
found still in camp near the old Thorn
burg battlefield They were toe
smart for him, however, and got in
his rear After stubborn fight, in
which tour of Kendall's men were
wounded and three horses killed, the
party succeeded in escaping, bringing
their wounded to Meeker. This was
the first white blood drawn in the con-
flict, Couriers were hastily sent to
Gleanwood, who met a company of fif-
ty well-armed volunteers from Aspen
on the road, and the latter party has
tened forward. The information was
conveyed also to General West, at
Glenwood Springs, were the troops
from Denver and other points are en-
camped. This morning the mounted
men left Glenwood for the front, with
the possibility that they may encount-
er Indians on the road.
A report came from Rawlins last
night that stage passengers had reach
there who declared that Kendall's
men were deserting him. This infor-
nation evidentally is old, as it was
afterwards shown that Kendall had
divided his forces. All of his original
party finally reached Meeker.

I'm The Minority.

From the Jackson News-Herald.
The query as to what protection
the'minority of civilized persons can
have against the corrupt majority re-
calls an amusing incident that happen
ed in NJ county, Tennessee, several
years ago.
An enthusiastic young reformer be-
came candidate for the Legislature.
He was full OF plans and theories for
making the people happier, healthier,
and wealthier, The people, he said,
were in the majority, and all they
had to do was to vote for him, and
inaugurate an earthly Paradise, and
everybody would vote for him, of
course,for they had told him so.
When The ballots were counted,
however, he had received about $50
out of a possible 5000.
"Well," asked friend next day,
"well, John, what do you think of the
people now?"
81 can never" replied the crank, 'I
can never, sir, cease to trust the peo-
pie. But durn me if it don't begin to
look like the people are in the minor.
